2.4. Passengers
The passengers of the trolleybuses come from all layers of the population, as in in every
other city. Whether pupil, worker, employee, pensioner and other calling, sooner or later
everyone rides the trolleybus, even if only because the car is in the workshop.
Fare dodgers (riding without tickets) are also considerable "in" as in every other
city.
Unfortunately!!! Finally I cannot go to the baker and take bread or cookies without paying.
Some of our passengers mistake the trolleybus for a garbage can. They let everything possible
fall and lay on the floor. Whether it concerns empty beverage containers, cans, bottles, bread
or so " hygienic" articles such as used paper handkerchiefs or chewing gums.
One can find everything.
Then there are also genuinely forgetful contemporaries who leave everything from the umbrella
or medicines up to the freshly bought bouquet or schoolbags. These passengers have mostly luck
with an according demand in the administration of the BBG Ltd. They get your things back to
you.
Again different passengers, usually younger ones, have genuinely artistic talents and a large
need to exange information. They cannot wait until they get to school or home. They must
perpetuate their graphic small works of art or written messages immediately in the trolleybus
with ballpoint pens or other writing implements on the seats, walls or other equipment's.
There are those passengers, relatively harmlessly, who place their feet on the opposite seats
(with shoes naturally).
The newest trends in our area come from the large city Berlin and swash only slowly into the
province.
As a passenger of Berlin buses, streetcars, undergrounds and city railways you can have a look
only heavily or not to the environment. "Duds" or "glass artists" grazed
the window panes of the Berlin buses, streetcars, undergrounds and city railways. Now the
first trendsetters become activ also in Eberswalde. For the joy of all passengers they leave
your abstract symbols permanently in-scratched in the panes of the trolleybuses and other
buses.
Above all older female passengers more frequently forget that they are moving and they are
affected by physical laws such as acceleration, delay, the force of gravity and centrifugal
force. Or briefly said, they simply do not hold on. As a driver, one looks into the mirror,
everyone is seated and one drives away. In the same instant some passengers exchange seats.
They exchanges their seats when starting because of sunshine or other reasons without holding
on, and is then surprised that she is roughly pushed against something, or more badly still,
they fall.
Some mom's regard the mobile support (buggy) of their children as being incapable of being
overturned by the motion of the trolleybus. Simply they do not hold the buggy and run through
the trolleybus to the driver in order to pay. The driver's hair stands on end, and one dares
to do nothing more, not to turn, not to brake and hope that everything goes well.
In the cold season there are unfortunately a number of deplorable passengers, who use the
trolleybus as heat room or lounge.
Most passengers use the trolleybus however for what it is, a pollution free conveyance,
because quiet, exhaustless and partially regains energy.
But as already noted above: Everything is normal; as in every other city.
